Preacher's Daughter featuring Tarsha McMillian

Preacher's Daughter featuring Tarsha McMillian - Anthony Hamilton

She had a habit that she couldn't really stop

Needed money so she had to hit the block

Nobody knew it so

She steady had to play a role

Went to church

But surely tearin' up her soul

She'd repent sometimes

Then she'd press rewind

Started over messin' up her life

Couldn't cope so she had to hit a knee slow

Started prayin' to the Lord

She was a preacher's preacher's daughter

Sendin' herself the tears

Sendin' herself the tears

A preacher's preacher's daughter

Sendin' herself the tears

Sendin' herself the tears

A preacher's daughter

So she had common sense

It's ashamed the way her life went

He's too busy though

Steady savin' souls

To realize he lost one of his own

Full of pain and stuck out in the dark

I even heard her father made his mark

Now she's confused

Now she's about to lose everything

She thought she ever owned

She was a preacher's preacher's daughter

Sendin' herself the tears

Sendin' herself the tears

A preacher's preacher's daughter

Sendin' herself the tears

Sendin' herself the tears

It's a cryin' shame oh

It's a shame she couldn't make a way out

Now I'm sittin' here twiddlin' my thumbs

'Cause her life is gone and her kids are gone

And she lost everything and see her own father

Was a preacher but he couldn't pray for her

'Cause he was too busy prayin' for everybody else

And layin' hands on all the women in the congregation

But I guess that's what goes on

When you walk right and perfect

And your whole house seems to be perfect

And behind closed doors everybody

Everybody suffers from some kind of demon

But nobody knows it until it all unvails itself

Your own daughter is out there

Locked out in the dark

She was a preacher's daughter

Help me Lord

Help me Lord I need you right now

Help

Help me Lord

Help me Lord

Help me Lord

Help me Lord

Say I need you right now

I need you

I need you daddy

Could you hear me prayin'

Don't you hear me prayin'

My heart is raining again

She's somebody's daughter

I said she's somebody's daughter

She's somebody's daughter

I know you got somebody

I need you say I need you

I don't know what to do

She's somebody's baby

I'm dyin' inside

She's somebody's baby

I'm dyin' inside

I'm crying

I can't

I can't stop the tears from fallin'

Oh daddy

Oh daddy

She's somebody's baby

She's somebody's baby

She's somebody's baby

I need you I need you I need you daddy

I need you I need you I need you daddy

Oh I need you

Oh daddy
